Yukon Tree Ring Chronology from 380 to 49 Years Before Present

A 429-year tree ring chronology from the Yukon Territory, Canada, provides data for paleoclimate reconstruction. The dataset was archived by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information under the World Data Service for Paleoclimatology. It was last updated in the repository in 1999.

Use Cases

• Reconstruct past temperature or precipitation anomalies using the annual tree ring width series.
• Calibrate climate proxy models by correlating the ring width chronology with instrumental climate records.
• Analyze long-term climate trends and extreme events in the Yukon region over the 429-year period.
• Compare this high-latitude tree ring series with other paleoclimate proxies for hemispheric climate studies.

Strengths

• Covers a 429-year time period from 380 to 49 calendar years before present.
• Sourced from the authoritative NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology.
• Includes precise geospatial location data for Yukon Territory, Canada.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with no updates recorded since 1999.
• The specific parameters, sample depth, and measurement statistics are not detailed in the provided description.
